5:02 am
today is the deadline president obama set for congressional leaders to come up with dicit reduction plans that could actually pass congress. he remains convinced that most americans, including republicans want a balanceed aagreement. >> the request he is, at what point do folks over there start listening to the people who put them in office? now is a good time. >> reporter: still firing shots at republicans during a friday news conference, president obama tried again to sell compromise as the only way forward. >> if they show me a serious plan i'm ready to move, even if it requires some tough decisions on my part. >> reporter: the president is pushing the grand bargain debt ceiling increase that reduces deficits by $4 trillion but it's a republican dealbreaker. >> i don't want to preclude any chance of coming to an agreement but they've been unwilling to put a real plan on the table. >> reporter: next tuesday house
5:03 am
republicans will vote for a more aggressive measure to cap future spending. it has no chance of passing the senate so minority leader mitch mcconnell is constructing a backup plan to enable president obama to raise the debt ceiling incrementally without republican approval. many conservatives aren't buying it. >> i wasn't elected to do nothing to kick the can down the road to wait for this president's term to end. i was brought here to do something and to do it now. >> reporter: there are no bipartisan debt limit talks scheduled to are this weekend but president obama told congressional leaders to be on notice, ready to be called back to the white house if needed. >> whit johnson at the white house, see you later in the broadcast. for another perspective on the debt negotiations, we turn to two members of congress, republican mar shah blackburn is in national tennessee.
5:04 am
and good morning to both of you. in your opinion what's holding up the process? >> i think what's holding up the process, and i agree with the president it's time we listen to the american public. they want social security, medicare protected and enhanced for the future and i believe firmly that can be done without sacrificing benefits and coverage for the american people that depend on these programs. american people are also saying you need to roll back the bush taxes, cut back the corporate by overwhelming numbers so maybe the will of the american people would play a roll we can get to a deal. >> congresswoman blackburn do you agree with that assessment? >> no i do not agree. we have to realize we are not in this situation because the debt limit is too low. we're in the situation because we spend too much. since this president took office he has added $3.7 trillion to
5:05 am
the national debt. the american people agree with us that it is time cut the federal spending. it is time to cap it so that we never get into this situation again and it is time for a balanced budget amendment. there is overwhelming public support for taking the approach that house conservatives are taking and that is why we're pushing forward with it. >> representative, president obama said yesterday the american people are on his side and compromise has to be made. what is your response to that. >> the most balanced plan is the one house conservatives have brought forward. we said mr. president you may kick the can down the road. we are the buck stops here congress. we are willing to put our plan on the table which is exactly what we have done. we are willing to work to make certain that we cut this out of control federal spending. they have spent $7.3 trillion since the president took office.
5:06 am
we are borrowing 40 cents of every dollar and you know it doesn't matter if it is democrat or republican. it is too much spending. it is time to stop it. >> representative gualba, at the end of the day could you support a plan that includes no tax increases on the wealthy? >> no. i think we're in this fiscal mess because of ten years of the tax and fiscal policies. when we talk about the front door spending we need to do and have with earned benefits like social securities there's back door spending, spending of government dollars, subsidies for gas and big oil. the tax for 2% -- >> if i may point out -- >> that's taxpayer money being spend. the definition of spending has to be broadened here otherwise the rules of engagement for compromise -- >> if i may point out something, please. >> go ahead.
5:07 am
>> with the passage of obama care, it was the democrats and the president that took $575 billion out of that program. now we have a program that is too expensive to afford. it is an imperative that we put the spending issue, and every economist, liberal or conservative, every ratings agency says what we have to see from the congress of the united states is a plan for how to deal with this out of control federal spending. >> ten seconds from you representative grualba. >> $575 billion part of the health plan, ryan took complete credit as a deficit reduction, i find it interesting. ryan's budget, every republican in the house it's $6 trillion added to the debt. >> we do not have that problem we have a spending problem. >> we see an example of what's going on in capitol hill, we'll
5:08 am
be talking about this later on this morning. seven after the hour. we're looking at the political implications of these drawn out debt talks. for that we turn to cbs news political analyst john dickerson in our washington bureau. good morning. thanks for being with us. >> good morning, rebecca. >> quinn nipiac poll, 60% of americans believe the debt limit raise deal should include tax hikes. who do you think is going to get blamed here with republicans saying no way if this thing doesn't work with tax limits or rather tax hikes in it? >> well, it depends. the question is whether the american people are paying attention to the shape of the deal, whether they're not paying more attention to their job picture or their summer vacations and so in the end here it depends how the deal tifinal comes out. it looks like the republicans hold position in the national polls doesn't look like they have a lot of support.
5:09 am
for them to pay a political price it has to be the president or another prominent democrat who pushes the case and if the president doesn't push the case on the republicans the american people are likely to go back to their number one concern, the economy and not get fixated on the debt limit negotiations. >> people are focused on the economy, may or may not be focused on the debate. they might be focused on the economy and personal odds. they see washington fighting, everybody in washington is upset. every day we hear from somebody new. is there an overall toll on the political system, historical reference point we can use to say people drop out. americans don't want to go to the polls after things like this take place. >> that's what the president was trying to appeal to. americans look at the nonsense in washington and think both parties are full of people who are, care only about themselves
5:10 am
and their political futures and aren't speaking to what's happening to them in their daily lives. they hear the debate we just had and the specifics go back and forth and doesn't connect with their lives at all and what the president was trying to do is rise above that and say i want to get back to those other issues. let's settle this here now. there's nothing in the way this has gone forward that's going to give regular americans any hope that washington can solve any big problems any time soon. >> senator mitch mcconnell said we can't make any deal with this president. why so much do you think anger between republicans and this particular president? >> well, the anger here is because there is no easy way to make this deal. often in washington, two parties get together, they haggle, they negotiate, they call each other names but in the end they can come up with some kind of a deal because there's been enough money to grease the deal, but in this case we're talking about distributing pain and that's a much more difficult kind of deal to get, and here they've come to
5:11 am
a position where the two sides are at total lagerheads and mcconnell is trying to find a back door before fiscal arm geddon occurs. >> john dickerson, as always thanks for joining us. coming up next saturday on "the early show" we're gathering ten independent voter, they'll look at the question of who is to blame for all of this gridlock in washington, that is coming up next saturday, it will happen here on "the early show." here's russ. >> rebecca, thank you. media magnet rupert murdoch is struggling to contain the phone hacking scandal that tangles his company news corp. correspondent dana lewis is in london bureau with the latest. >> good morning, rupert murdoch is in full retreat, a growing scandal fueled by resignations
5:12 am
of his top company executives and today murdoch's apology to a nation. rolling off the printing presses what some have called rupert murdoch's day of atonement, today his company, news international is running full page adz in major british daily saying "we are sorry for the serious wrongdoing in the phone hacking scandal." the controversy resulted in the arrest of nine people and resignations of his top executi executives. the latest les hinton, chief owner of dow jones which published the "wall street journal," hinton ran "news of the world" the paper at the center of this scandal from 1995 to 2007. that resignation on the same day news international chief executive rebekah brooks also bowed to pressure to step down. yesterday the media mogul apologized in person after meeting the family of murdered school girl milly dowler whose phone was hacked by "news of the world" in 2002.
5:13 am
>> founder of the company, i was appalled to find out what had happened. >> reporter: tuesday brooks and rupert murdoch and his son, james, will be grilled by a parliamentary committee about what they knew. tom watson, a member of parliament who will question them, told me the apologies are late and hollow. >> every week, every month there's been a new revelation they've denied and subsequently had to admit. it's a half apology i'm afraid. >> parliament said on tuesday don't expect the murdochs will answer any and all questions because of an ongoing criminal investigation, but they will be pressed if they try to dodge basic probing with regard to what they knew and when. >> thank you. also is lloyd grove, editor at large for "newsweek" magazine and the daily beast. lloyd great to have you with us >> good morning. >> we've seen the two high-profile resignations from "news of the world" and dow
5:14 am
jones ceoles hinton stepping down yesterday. does that alleviate any of the pressure or get worse from here? >> there's more ahead for the murdochs. there's an investigation. we don't know what horrible things are going to be calling out from under rocks. all of the contrition, apologies is really to try and save the bskyb deal. >> but it fell apart. >> well, it fell apart for now, but rupert murdoch is going to try and do it at some point down the road after a decent interval because it's too important to the economic health of news corp. >> obviously the "wall street journal," dow jones runs the "wall street journal," that's the ceo stepping down from there, so how does the "wall street journal" cover the story and do it in a way that doesn't include bias.
5:15 am
>> it's a tricky thing and they know obviously they're not stupid. they know that everybody's watching just for that, and i think they've done a credible job as has sky television in britain which is controlled by news corp, so those two entities are very important to have the image of impartiality and so far they've done well on that. >> rupert murdoch has given one exclusive international at this point to his own paper "wall street journal." does he need to expand that, does he need to go to someone that's seen as a more impartial paper to tell his story to get this out of the way for him in. >> you're almost asking me to be a crisis consultant and mon what rupert murdoch needs to do but clearly giving an international to "wall street journal" is the safest thing he could do at this point and i don't think people took it as seriously as they might have say if he had gone to "new york times" or "the guardian" which has done excellent coverage in britain.
5:16 am
>> he goes to british parliament on tuesday. will he be contrite? what tone will he set? >> yes, this is his contrition tour so he will be contrite, responsive as possible, given his legal exposure, and it will be a whole new rupert murdoch, one that we haven't seen ever, because he's trying to get the british authorities to let him do this bskyb deal at some point down the road. >> we'll continue to follow it. th for joining us this morning. we appreciate it. >> pleasure. >> for the rest of this morning's headlines we turn to "cbs morning news" correspondent and morning anchor, betty nguyen. a lheavy fighting broke out west in tripoli between forces loyal to moammar gadhafi as
5:17 am
insurgen insurgents pushed toward the capital. mark phillips is with the rebels in northwestern libya. >> reporter: this is the mountain town of jadu, those are the nato flags flying in one of the town's main squares. without nato's help, this town would not now be controlled by the rebel force. and this is a very good place to explain the military situation up here in the mountains. we're on a high plateau that stretches from the tunisian border all the way to within about 60 miles or so of tripoli. this area is controlled by the rebels with, as i say nato help. on the edge of the plateau is here and it's a good illustration of just what the military situation is up here. up here in an area controlled largely by the mountain berber people, the rebels exert their control over a half dozen or so
5:18 am
major towns. down there on the plain, gadhafi still rules. the rebels have had to take little towns like shakshuk, which you may see off in the distance because that's where their power comes from. they're establishing along the edges because they're pushing little by little closer toward tripoli but in effect this is the area they can control themselves with nato help. the problem for them now is whether to push forward and whether they're able to push forward. militarily, in terms of their weapons, their organization and communication and all that, they are not, and gadhafi still maintains control over the surrounding area, and of course in tripoli, 60 or so miles to the north of here. mark phillips, cbs news in jadu, tripoli. back here in the u.s. the brutal heat searing the southeast is moving north, extremely hot weather expanding

angeles. we've been stuck in traffic large enough to make us feel stressed out. we've got tips on how to get through traffic before we get to road rage. let's get to our top story this half hour, casey anthony is due to be released from a florida jail tomorrow. with anger running at a fevered pitch officials are not taking any chances. cbs news correspondent karen brown is outside the florida jail this morning. >> reporter: good morning to you, russ. anthony's attorneys say one thing is for certain when she leaves here she's going to need therapy after spending a majority of her time in isolation 23 hours a day, seven days a week. once they drop her off at the undisclosed location they're not going to provide her with security unless there is a verifiable threat. after more than 1,000 days behind bars, acquitted murder suspect casey anthony will walk
5:32 am
out of the orange county jail tomorrow a free woman. >> court will be in recess. >> reporter: but that freedom comes with a price. being released into a population that still largely believes she's guilty of killing her 2-year-old daughter, caylee. it's a problem even her attorneys acknowledge. >> she can't be here. there's jackales o jackals stil, calling for her blood, threatening everybody. >> reporter: the safety concerns turn the how and when of the release into a closely guarded secret and spawned a flurry of rumors about what she'll do next. anthony's legal troubles are far from over, she faces defamation charges from zenaida gonzalez. the sheriff's office wants casey to cover the cost of the investigation since she was found guilty of lying to police,
5:33 am
misleading them in their search, with interview offers ranging up to $1 million and cash donations from admirers flowing into her jail house bank account, casey could decide to settle. meanwhile across town, crowds continue to gather at a memorial set up for the little girl whose death started it all. and there is now a nationwide movement in support of caylee, 18 states are considering legislation called caylee's law which would make it a crime to fail to report your child missing in a timely manner. they have more than 1 million signatures including that of casey anthony's father, george anthony. >> thank you so much. joining us from los angeles is whitney feldman, she served 16 months behind bars and the founder of custodial coaching, a group that counsels prisoners adjusting to life after jail. >> good morning, how are you? >> doing just fine.
5:34 am
what happens when someone is released from prison. what's the first thing they go through? >> first, every inmate in america goes through a very similar processing process, so she will change her clothes, dress out as they call it and get into civilian clothes. she'll go through a standard checkout form, be given any medications that she's taking and be ready to go. >> now in a case like this, will authorities take her to her next destination? is that their responsibility normally? >> normally that's not the responsibility, but in this case, because it's so unusual and it's a very different case where we're having a press conference ahead of time, they will escort here until she's at her destination, whether that's a plane or a home or what have you and that will be it. >> will they take her out through a side or back door? >> i think it's likely they'll take her out a back exit, back
5:35 am
garage door in an unmarked car with her lawyers, that's typical in high profile cases. >> will she be given any money when she's released? >> you know what, russ, typically in florida they give you $100 gate money. as you hit the gate they give you the money but in this case she won't be eligible for that money because she's not "needy." she had money on her books so she won't get that $100. >> typically does the prison system offer any report from someone when they're released from prison? >> no, if you're ordered to a half way house then they would but there are all kinds of statement-based organizations, re-entry organizations that come visit inmates in jail and they have visited casey anthony. she even said they visited her on the jail house visiting tapes from 2008. she will have programs presented
5:36 am
but they're optional. >> the prison system has no obligation at all in this regard, you're telling me. >> not unless it's ordered. she doesn't have probation so it's not ordered. >> let me ask you your opinion. karen told us there are no special plans for security when she is released from jail but given the strong feelings people have about casey anthony and this verdict, what do you think? should authorities provide some sort of security for her? >> i think authorities, law enforcement has an obligation to protect everybody who is outside of custody equally so if there is a credible threat, they'll protect her but it they can't act as her 24-hour-a-day body guards. they're going to most likely escort her where she needs to go. like in the o.j. case if she goes to a certain location, the law enforcement might be there to protect the other neighbors and not casey anthony. >> if casey anthony were to ask
5:37 am
advice how to survive after prison what would you say to her? >> i would tell her to get help, get all kinds of help, go through an aftercare program, get mental health experts, get a whole team together because not only is this high profile, but she's been incarcerated for. three years so she has a large re-entry task, compounded by the fact she is not liked by most people in america so i would tell her get a team of experts and get some professional help. >> wendy feldman, the founder of custodial coaching joining us from los angeles, thank you for your insight. >> thank you very much. ha >> have a great day. mr. lonnie quinn is here with the check of the weather. >> three days atlanta, georgia, you hit 97 but felt like 105 with the humidity. today no heat alerts for the

here's a sobering fact, there's been a dramatic spike in the number of women arrested for drunk driving. it's gone up almost 32% in the past decade. and here with more on the dangers of women and alcohol is christina tudino, senior lifestyle editor for "health" magazine. we absorb alcohol differently for men, how. >> it gravitates toward the part of your body that contains water. because women have a higher fat-to-water ratio than men do we wind up having to work harder to process the alcohol so our livers have to work harder to metabolize the alcohol, there's a higher concentration in our bloodstream after just one drink
5:43 am
and the enzyme in our stomach that breaks down alcohol doesn't work as efficiently in women as it does in men. in the end it means that we are going to be more drunk or more buzzed than a man would. >> how would one standard be in that scenario? >> if you take a woman or a man one drink for a woman is a drink and a half for a man in terms of its effect. >> very interesting and weight plays a role here, too. >> it does, the smaller and the lighter you are, the easier it is for to you get drunk because there is less space in your body for the alcohol to go so you have to work harder to process it. >> your surroundings play a part, what you eat that day, how much water you consumed. >> exactly. the less food you have in your system, the easier it's going to be for you to get drunk. this is where we get into trouble at happy hour. you think you can just go out and have a few drinks and have something to eat after.
5:44 am
by the time the food gets into your system the alcohol is already in your bloom so you already have that high blood alcohol level. that can be so dangerous. >> if you know you're going to drink what should you eat in advance. >> doesn't matter what you eat but you want to make sure it's filling, healthy proteins, fats and carbs. make sure your stomach is full. >> working out plays a role and the type of drink also plays a role. >> it does. with exercise, that naturally produces endorphins in your system which act as a natural appetite depressant. say you go to the gym and go out to eat after, you'll be less hungry at first and might drink too much before you start to eat and in terms of the type of alcohol, champagne actually makes you drunker faster than other types of alcohol. >> because of the bubbles? >> it actually is the bubbles, the carbonation irritates your stomach lining and that

medium banana three ounces so almost half a cup. >> chick peas, a lot of water in chick peas. >> we eat more cold foods in the summertime, you can put them on a salad or hummus with veggies. >> is sodium a concern? >> if you're buying canned chick peas, rinse them under the sink for a minute, you wash away 60% of the sodium. >> here's one that didn't surprise me, watermelon. >> one cup gives you five ounces of fluid, over 90% of what's here is fluid. i love to eat it as is but i also like to make watermelon salsa. you take the chunks, put in cucumber, red onin, lime juice and jalapenos, good with fajitas on the grill. >> yogurt as well has lots of
6:35 am
water. >> an eight ounce container, seven ounces is fluid. we all love greek yogurt because it's higher in protein but lower in water because it has more proteins. go with a traditional yogurt, it's great with breakfast but you can layer it as a parfait with fruit, put sliced nuts on there. >> so far this has the most water in it? >> even more than watermelon. who would have thought that. >> a lot of people don't think of eating soup in the summertime because it's hot but you have g gaspacho. >> i could eat that whole bowl. out of an eight ounce cup you get almost eight ounces of fluid because all of that is in here is extremely watery food. a great appetizer can be an entre, put an entry on top or dollop of yogurt. >> how much water have we had? >> in five foods, three cups of
6:36 am
water out of the 11 to 15 you need for the entire day. >> surprising stuff. you can eat this whole thing as is? >> i could go to town on this. >> we've got to go. you start with that. thanks again. >> thank you. >> appreciate it. here's rebecca. >> we'll confirm she's eaten the whole bowl by the end of the show. coming up, chef lourdes castro shows us a great barbecue happening here on "the early show" on cbs. t so hooked you'll want to pass it on to a friend. go to getfreshwithafriend.com. tell a friend about fresh and you'll both get a cottonelle fresh reward. so fresh is always at your fingertips. uh oh, sesame stir fry from lucky dynasty. oh, me too! but mine's lean cuisine, so no preservatives.
